Hidden creatures - revealed!

Well done to those who managed to find all twelve creatures! :-)

Here is the solution:

1. The Bowling Club at the Green will do very well.                                (owl; bat; dove).

2. If Roger will go at once, it might do good.                                            (frog; goat; dog).

3. Are you as sure as I am that he noticed the sign at the entrance?      (ass; hen; gnat).

4. She came late, but I want you to be early.                                           (camel; ant; bee).

Keep checking the blog.  There isn't a puzzle every week, but there may well be something to encourage you to think of what, to some, is the greatest puzzle - life itself!

Another wee brain-teaser!

The last brain-teaser proved to be very popular.  However, I know of only one person who managed to complete it correctly!  So, for those who like to keep their little grey cells exercised, here is another one - and it's a wee bit more simple (I think!).

The words  below are all anagrams of names of places visited by the apostle, Paul.   Start off by working out as many as you can without any assistance.  Then, if you have access to a Bible map (or should that, nowadays, be 'Bible app'?!!), you should be able check out Paul's journeys.  If you are having a real problem, then the chapter and verse from The Acts of the Apostles, in which the place is named, is given in brackets beside each anagram.

Have fun!

1. SAD MUSCA (9:10);  2. SAIL SAM (13:5);   3. STRAY L (14:8);  4. BREED (14:20);   5. TO CHINA (15:35);   6.  ROAST (16:8);   7. HI PIP PIP (16:12);   8. LOAN THIS CASE (17:1);  9.  HASTEN (17:15);   10. HIT CORN (18:1);   11. SEE PUSH (18:19);   12. I MELT US (20:17);   13. USE AS CRY (28:12);   14. AS RUST (21:39);   15. MORE (28:16).

As before, I'll post the correct answers in a few days' time - so keep checking!

Biblical Brain-teaser!

Okay!  Just for a change - and a wee bit of fun - here is an opportunity to exercise those little grey cells, and check your knowledge of the books of the Bible at the same time.

In these reMARKs are hidden the names of no less than sixteen Biblical books!  It's a real lulu; kept me looking so hard for the facts, I missed the revelation.

I was in a jam, especially as the names (with one exception) were not capitalised.  The truth will, however, be seen by vast numbers of the super-intelligent readers of this blog!  To others, it will be a really hard job.  For all, it will be a most fascinating search.

Yes, there will be some that are easy to spot, and others that are difficult to judge, so we admit it usually results in loud lamentations.  In the past, one lady gave an assurance that she brews coffee while she puzzles over it.  One book, as already intimated, is capitalised to help you start.  See how well you can compete.  Relax, as my friend Didier would say, for there really are sixteen names of books of the Bible in this post.

Happy hunting.  The solution will be posted in a few days' time!
